I hear Thy welcome voice, that calls me, Lord to Thee, For cleansing in Thy precious blood That flowed on Calvary....Though coming weak and vile, Thou dost my strengh assure; Thou dost my vilenesss fully cleanse, Till spotless all and pure...'Tis Jesus who confirms the blessed work within, By adding grace to welcomed grace, Where reigned the power of sin...And he the witness gives to loyal hearts and free, that every promise is fulfilled if grace but brings the plea...All hail, atoning blood! All hail, redeeming grace! All hial, the gift of Christ our Lord, Our strength and rightousness....L.Hatsought.

Praise ye the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him! Let the Amen sound from His people again: Gladly for aye we adore Him. J Neander. (Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, if with His love He befriends thee)

Our lives are but fine weavingsThat GOD and we prepareEach life becomes a fabric plannedAnd fashioned in His careWe may not always see just howThe WEAVINGS intertwinebut we much trust the MASTER'S handAnd follow His designFor He can view the patternUpon the upper side.While we must look from underneathAnd trust in Him to guideSometimes a strand of sorrowIs added to His planAnd though it's difficult for usWe still must understandThat it's He who fills the shuttleIt's He who knows what's bestSo we must WEAVE in patienceNot till the loom is silentAnd the shuttles cease to flyShall GOD unroll the canvasAnd explain the reason whyThe dark threads area as neededIn the WEAVER'S Skillful handAs the threads of gold and silverIn the pattern He has planned.

God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm. Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan His work in vain;God is His own interpreter, and He will make it plain. C.Cowper

Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2Peter1:21

The Bible is the writing of the living God. Each letter was penned with an almighty finger. Each word in it dropped from the everlasting lips. Each sentence was dictated by the Holy Spirit.

Albeit that Moses was employed to write his histories with his fiery pen, God guided that pen. It may be that David touched his harp and let sweet psalms of melody drop from his fingers, but God moved his hands over the living strings of his golden harp. Solomon sang canticles of love and gave forth words of consummate wisdom, but God directed his lips and made the preacher eloquent. If I follow the thundering Nahum, when his horses plow the waters; or Habakkuk, when he sees the tents of Cushan in affliction; if I read Malachi, when the earth is burning like an oven; if I turn to the smooth page of John, who tells of love; or the rugged chapters of Peter, who speaks of fire devouring God's enemies; if I turn aside to Jude, who launches forth anathemas upon the foes of God-- everywhere I find God speaking.

It is God's voice, not man's; the words are God's words: the words of the Eternal, the Invisible, the Almighty, the Jehovah of ages. This Bible is God's Bible; and when I see it, I seem to hear a voice springing up from it, saying, "I am the Book of God. Man, read me. I am God's writing. Study my page, for I wasa penned by God. Love me, for He is my Author, and you will see Him visible and manifest everywhere."

Now Christmas is a season for joy and merrymaking,A time for gifts and presents, for giving and for taking,A friendly, happy time when everyone is gay------But have we ever felt THE GREATNESS OF THE DAY......

For through the centuries the world has wandered far awayFrom the beauty and the meaning of the HOLY CHRISTMAS DAY............For Christmas is a heavenly gift that only God can give.It's ours just for the asking, for as long as we shall live:

It can't be bought or bartered, it can't be won or sold,It doesn't cost a penny and it's worth far more than gold............It isn't bright or gleaming for eager eyes to seIt can's be wrapped in tinsel or placed beneath a tree:

It isn't soft and shimmering for reaching hands to touch,Or some expensive luxury you've wanted very much....For the PRICELESS GIFT OF CHRISTMAS is meant just for the heartAnd we receive it only when we become a part

Of the kingdom and the glory which is ours to freely take,For God sent the HOLY CHRIST CHILD AT CHRISTMAS for our sake,So man might come to know him and feel His presence nearAnd see the many miracles performed while He was here......

And this PRICELESS GIFT OF CHRISTMAS is within the reach of all,The rich, the poor, the young, the old, the greatest and the small..........So take His PRICELESS GIFT OF LOVE, reach out and you receive,And the only payment that God asks is just that you believe.

This day Christ has thrown the door of mercy wide open and stands calling and crying with a loud voice to poor sinners. Now let everyone who is still without Christ and hanging over the pit of hell answer to the loud calls of God's Word.
